Battery pole saw works great, and an extra battery is all you need to deal with running out of charge on the job. Ego pole saw and extensions have been great. Gave away my gas powered chainsaw, and use the Ego chainsaw as well. Have to admit, the gas one has more power, and was happy when my neighbor helped me with my old chainsaw in taking down some out of control areca palms. We mess with each other, and talk shmack about gas vs electric, and he always finishes with, "I love the smell of gas fumes." Cannot argue with that.
Rob is right, Felco is the best of any of the tools I've bought.
On that note how do you sharpen a Felco or whatever brand hand pruner or lopper?
